Finn Cycle Wins Golf Digest Editors’ Choice

by

The Finn Cycle electric golf scooter has been awarded 2020 Golf Digest Editors’ Choice – Best Club Transport.

The editors’ wrote:

“Unless you’re the sort who likes to pack your bag when playing, you need something to help you transport your clubs around the course. That can take varying forms these days depending on whether you want to walk, ride or even cruise around The Villages.

In the alternative-riding category, the street-bike-like Finn Cycle remains our choice for its ease of use, reduced wear on the course and ability to improve pace of play. We also have a repeat in our alternative-walking category with Club Car’s Tempo Walk, which allows you to have the device haul your bag while you walk slightly ahead of it as it dutifully follows you as if you had a caddie. Just don’t ask it for a yardage.”

ClubGlider Pro Awarded Golf Digest Editors’ Choice

by

The Sun Mountain ClubGlider Pro was named 2020 Golf Digest Editors’ Choice for Best Golf Travel Bag.

The editors’ said:

“For the last few years Sun Mountain’s ClubGlider Meridian has been our top choice for travel cover. But what if you could have all the goodies that come with that model and make it large enough where you could possibly stuff two bags instead of one inside? When traveling you want as few bags as possible and the ability to possibly eliminate one is why the company’s ClubGlider Pro is our choice this year.

Starting with the pivoting handle that leaves you in control of the travel bag instead of fighting with it, the ClubGlider Pro addresses pretty much all the niggling things golfers tend to gripe about when it comes to travel covers. It has plenty of cushioning, so there’s no worry about club breakage, and has pockets to store anything you’re going to need on a golf trip and then some. Then there is the technology: a retractable stand with wheels that lets you cruise effortlessly to and through the baggage check line without constantly having to prop the travel cover up in a standing position. At your destination, the cover folds up easily and doesn’t take up all your trunk space.

In fact, about the only thing you need to worry about is airline weight limits for bags if you’re putting two of them in together.”

Finn Gets an App

by

Finn, the new electric golf scooter that’s adding fun and speeding up pace of play, now has its own app for scan & ride ease. Simply download the app to your smartphone, scan the QR code on the Finn Cycle, and away you go. Developed by our founder, Rick Reimers, Finn Cycle is a two-wheeled, single-rider cycle with an electric motor and lithium battery that offers a comfortable and stable ride that leaves all who ride it smiling. Finn Cycles are currently part of the rental fleet at over 70 golf courses across the country. To find a Finn for rental near you, go to www.FinnScooters.com/locations.

“The inspiration for Finn is the desire to play a faster round of golf,” said Rick Reimers. “Riding Finn is invigorating and sporty while encouraging ready golf. This new app makes the rental process quicker and easier for the pro shop and for the golfer.”

The Finn Scooters app is available for free in the Apple App Store and Google Play. From the app, first-time users can view safety and instructional information, review terms and conditions, pay the rental fee and unlock the cycle for use. Subsequent rentals will be a simple scan and ride.

The golf bag sits along the center-line of Finn Cycle offering easy golf club access and riding stability. Finn Cycle has front and rear suspension for a comfortable ride and braking with hand-operated disc brakes. The electric motor is in the rear wheel offering a sleek design. The lithium battery can go up to 36-holes on a single charge though charging after every round is suggested.

Finn travels at the same speed as a traditional golf cart, approximately 15 mph, and offers the opportunity to substantially speed up the pace of play by naturally encouraging ready golf with each player driving directly to his/her ball.

Reimers has a well-deserved reputation for creating innovative golf products that become industry mainstays such as the golf bag with built-in legs and the golf push cart.

New Kube Golf Travel Bag Folds Up Tiny

by

We are proud to introduce the Kube golf travel bag. Kube looks like an ordinary, small, plastic suitcase but unbuckle it and it opens into a full-sized golf travel bag. Kube’s folded size is merely 9” x 13” x 14.5” and weighs only 6.8 lbs. This small golf travel bag is available in eight colors with a retail price of $229.99. For the retailer nearest you, call 800-227-9224 or visit www.sunmountain.com.

Kube is constructed from durable, ballistic style fabric in combination with plastic half-shells with dense foam padding through the top of the bag to protect golf clubs. When not in use, Kube folds down to 9″ x 13″ x 14.5″ for storage. When unfolded for use, Kube has internal dimensions of 52″ x 14″ x 14″ offering room for a golf stand bag or cart bag.

Kube’s fabric is further reinforced in wear areas and heavy-duty, two-way zippers run the full length of the golf travel bag to make it easy to load.

“Kube is ideal for someone who travels periodically with their golf clubs,” explains President of Sun Mountain, Ed Kowachek, “and wants their golf travel bag to take up as little space as possible when not in use.”

Kube weighs only 6.8 lbs and comes in eight colors: Carbon Fiber, Graphite/Pink, Inferno, Tropic, Cobalt, White, Bumblebee and Rush.

In addition to Kube, we offer several models of the ClubGlider golf travel bag with patented, extendable legs that support 100% of the weight.

New Golf Bag Made from Recycled Plastic Bottles

by

The fabric used on the new-for-2020 Sun Mountain Eco-Lite golf bag is made from recycled plastic bottles. Approximately twenty-five 20-oz bottles go into the material used in each recycled plastic golf bag. Eco-Lite is a full-featured, lightweight, stand-bag available in four different color combinations with a retail price of $219.99.

Beyond being made from recycled plastic, Eco-Lite has many of the great features offered on Sun Mountain’s top-selling stand bags. Eco-Lite has six pockets including a velour-lined valuables pocket, a full-length apparel pocket and a hydration sleeve. The roomy 9” top offers a four-way divider and a comfort-grip handle for ease in picking up the bag and setting it down.

The bag’s E-Z Lite Dual Strap System is easy to get on and off and features shoulder straps contoured for comfort. And even with all these features, this lightweight stand bag weighs under four pounds. Eco-Lite is available in four different eye-catching color combinations.

Our “Ahead of Time Design” motto drives the company to continually design and refine golf equipment.

Sun Mountain Adds 14-Way Top To Its Lightest Golf Bag

by

Golf bags with individual club dividers are more popular every year. To answer this demand, we are introducing the 2.5+ 14-way bag. This lightweight golf bag with 14 dividers has a spacious 10.5″ top and weighs just under four pounds. The 2020 2.5+ 14-way is available in six different colors with a retail price of $239.99.

The 2.5+ 14-way features fourteen individual club dividers that run the full length of the bag to protect clubs and prevent the clubs’ shafts from tangling together. This is important to note as some companies’ club dividers only go partway down the bag so offer the same look and organization but do not keep the clubs from getting tangled.

The 10.5” top on the 2.5+ 14-way is constructed from lightweight, high-strength-to-weight plastic with a comfort-grip handle for ease in picking up the bag and setting it down. The shoulder strap is our exclusive X-Strap System that is easy to get on and off and works well as a single strap for short carries. The 2.5+ 14-way offers five pockets include a full-length apparel pocket; a velour-lined, valuables pocket; a ball pocket with two-way zippers, and a beverage pouch. This ultra-lightweight golf bag features highly durable carbon fiber legs with the patented Roller-Bottom leg mechanism for quick and strong leg action.
